Zhang Yang stood at the back of the line, with Randolph's identification and his own disguise, successfully boarding the escort ship.
Bruce was surrounded by the media and reporters, microphones shoved in his face.
On the escort ship, Zhang Yang smirked slightly as he walked to a secluded corner and released a white dove.
"Officer Bruce, have you developed a plan to respond to Kaitō Kid's provocation?"
"Officer Bruce, do you have confidence in capturing Kaitō Kid?"
"Could you tell us how confident you are in catching Kaitō Kid?"
At that moment, Bruce had a large number of microphones shoved into his face. Surrounded by a barrage of questions, he furrowed his brows, unwilling to answer hastily.
He had no confidence at all in capturing Kaitō Kid.
Although he was exceptional among Eagle Nation's agents, with every mission completed successfully, Kaitō Kid had never failed either. With all these media outlets trying to grab the news, everything was being broadcast live.
[Bruce looks a little pale. He's probably starting to panic!]
[Guys, breaking news: Global Weekly will board the escort ship and live-track the entire situation!]
[Oh my god! Does Bruce really think he can catch Kaitō Kid?]
[Whether he catches him or not, this is making news all over the world. Rather than running, facing it head-on makes him look even better.]
[Anyway, the results will be known soon, so why not act confidently? This is definitely a smart move!]
Bruce stood in front of the swarm of reporters, his face serious as he answered their questions.
"As long as Kaitō Kid shows up on the escort ship, we will do everything in our power to capture him and make him pay for his arrogance!"
No sooner had Bruce finished speaking than a white dove flew down and, in front of all the reporters and live cameras, delivered the notice letter to Bruce.
The journalists were in an uproar, stunned by the sight.
"Oh my god, it's Kaitō Kid's notice letter!"
"Wow! Kaitō Kid must have done this on purpose!"
"Officer Bruce, could you tell us what's written on the notice letter?"
Viewers in the livestream were equally shocked.
[Holy shit, Kaitō Kid is going all-in with this!]
[He's showing Bruce no respect at all! Is there a more audacious provocation than this?]
[Oh shit! If I were Bruce, I'd be so pissed right now!]
[Hahaha, handing the notice letter over like this is pretty much like slapping Bruce in the face!]
[Kaitō Kid's move is brilliant. It's like rubbing Bruce's face in the toilet bowl!]
Bruce's anger flared inside as he held the notice letter up to the camera.
"Kaitō Kid, if you dare to show up, I will catch you for sure!"
Bruce was also a man of pride, and right now, he was genuinely furious.
He no longer cared about any plans. If he spotted Kaitō Kid, he would stop at nothing to capture him.
With that, Bruce shoved past the reporters and quickly headed toward the escort ship.
[Wow, Bruce is really angry now!]
[Oh my god! No one can tolerate such a provocation, can they?]
[Bruce is the top agent in Eagle Nation, doesn't he care about his face?]
[Hahaha, this is going to be a good show. Both Bruce and Kaitō Kid are going all-out now!]
[Damn, this time it's on the escort ship. Does Kaitō Kid still have an advantage?]
The reporters and staff from Global Weekly—four people in total—followed Bruce as they boarded the escort ship, ready to live-track and report the whole operation.
After Bruce carefully checked their IDs and credentials, he let them board the escort ship with a sense of relief.
"Everyone is on board. How is Kaitō Kid planning to get on the escort ship?"
Bruce furrowed his brows, not realizing that Kaitō Kid was already on the ship before him.
Zhang Yang, familiar with the structure of the escort ship, avoided drawing attention. After delivering the notice letter to Bruce, he headed straight to the logistics kitchen.
Global Weekly was live-streaming, and viewers from all over the world were tuning in.
[This is the first time Kaitō Kid is acting in broad daylight. Will he succeed?]
[Boarding the escort ship and live-tracking the operation? Other media outlets must be so jealous!]
[Eagle Nation is transferring the Sword of King Goujian to Britain? Kaitō Kid won't let them succeed!]
[At the moment Kaitō Kid's notice letter arrived, Bruce must have been sweating like crazy!]
[The escort ship's environment is so complicated. Kaitō Kid must not be as familiar with it as Bruce and his team. Hopefully, Kaitō Kid will have good luck!]
By noon, the escort ship completed its pre-departure checks and set off with the cargo ship, leaving half an hour earlier than the scheduled departure time.
When the escort ship started moving, Zhang Yang looked at the time and smiled to himself, shaking his head.
"They even moved up the time!"
According to the meal schedule, the serving time was still an hour away.
Zhang Yang was too lazy to prepare their meals, planning to finish his task within the next hour!
Zhang Yang already had an escape plan. Once he located the Sword of King Goujian and obtained it, he could head back and enjoy a feast.
As for what Bruce and the others would be eating on the escort ship, Zhang Yang didn't care.
Zhang Yang exited the logistics kitchen and, after a bit of searching, found himself behind Bruce. He reached out and tapped Bruce on the shoulder.
At the same time, he left a small tracking device on Bruce's shoulder with his fingers.
"Officer Bruce, did you permit the news reporters to enter the escort ship?"
Bruce took a deep breath and responded with a brief nod, offering a special reminder.
"There are only four staff members from Global Weekly. If you spot any other suspicious individuals, immediately have them arrested!"
Bruce didn't suspect Randolph at all, even feeling relieved that the logistics chef on the escort ship was so vigilant.
If Kaitō Kid really showed up, he would certainly be caught.
Global Weekly had two cameras set up to broadcast the situation on the escort ship live.
[The escort ship has already left, but we still haven't seen Kaitō Kid. Is he already on board?]
[Something's off. Something's definitely off!]
[Could Kaitō Kid be just messing with Bruce, and he never intended to board the escort ship? Maybe his target is somewhere else?]
[Shit! What nonsense are you talking? Kaitō Kid wouldn't do that!]
[I bet Kaitō Kid is already on the escort ship. Just wait and see!]
Zhang Yang walked into the escort ship's restroom and locked the door behind him.
Then, he took out the prepared satellite phone and called Bruce.
The satellite phone had been encrypted by the Know-It-All Assistant, and Zhang Yang had set it to the FBI headquarters' communication line.
